Cinco Anos!

five years for you non spanish speakers...our happy wedding anniversary when we escaped to Two Harbors for one night and then Taylors Falls the next- just the two of us...for old times sake!

Gooseberry

it was a raging 92 in st Cloud and we get to Two Harbors to see people getting out of the car in fleece...oh yeah a mere 60- we were not prepared...but being the troopers that we are we trudged on- right up to the falls and all around them-

where the falls meet Superior

our first night was in a rail car...

compliments of our favorite up north pit stop- a bloody mary with 4 delicious shrimp cocktail!

We discovered this place by accident road trippin' to Ian's interview a few years back. It is in Sandstone and it is called the Gas Light it is a bar in an old bank- super cute! and they serve these! need we say more? Tell everyone- we would love to keep them in business- In fact, we found a book called MN Greatest Taverns and they happen to be one of the featured taverns...highly recommended(:

Night Two - the Old Jailhouse Cave Suite in Taylors Falls

Check out the whirl pool tub in the background in the cave and behind that tile while is a shower deep in the cave! super sweet we absolutely loved this- it had it's own kitchen and all- not that we cooked...but we would totally go back

happy hour on our patio

The Old Jailhouse from the outside

Our room is the entire bottom floor- out happy as seen in previous pictures is right below the patio on the left- another great stop! I love you google(:

lame I know but we were impressed a coffee grinder!

You have to grind you your own coffee..., but breakfast gets delivered to your room and we are not talking continental!
We also enjoyed some mini golf and the "falls" as they call them because they really are not falls anymore. I bet now you all feel like you were on our trip right with us!
It is funny to think on our honeymoon in jamaica we said we would go back on our 5 yr- boy were we naive!
